Ethos , Vision and Aims

Our Purpose

Rowland Hill is an inclusive, supportive Nursery School and Children’s Centre in which all children and their families can make positive relationships, learn together, grow in confidence & self respect and be happy.

Our Vision

Be seen as a Centre of Excellence thus:

Providing children with the highest quality nursery curriculum & giving staff the opportunity of career development & satisfaction.

Be recognised as a major influence within the Local Authority as a model for Inclusion.

Represent all that is best about multi-agency working so that Health & Children’s Services together respond to local community needs.

Our Values

Rowland Hill actively promotes the fundamental values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths or beliefs. These are interpreted by our youngest children as learning right from wrong; learning to take turns and share; and challenging negative views and stereotypes. We do not promote views and theories that are contrary to established scientific or historical evidence and explanations.
